Lane went to the bookstore he spent 1/3 of his money on a pen and 4/6 of it on books what fraction of his money did he have left

2 answers:

6 0

First, you have to find a common denominator between 3 and 6. 3 goes into 6 evenly, so 6 is the lowest common denominator.( always go with the lowest common denominator.) Since 3 goes into 6 2 times, what you do to the denominator you do to the numerator.
1/3 x 2 = 2/6. 4/6 stays the same bc the denominator is already 6.
Now, 4/6 - 2/6 = 2/6
Lane had 2/6 of his money left.
Final answer:2/6

Answer: I believe that it might be $1.00

Step-by-step explanation: Well the problem doesn’t tell you how much money he HAD, so if you do 1/3+4/6 you should get 6/6 or 1 as the amount that Lane had.

What will be the unit digit of the square of 7992

Alina [70]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Here you need not completely solve 7992 squared. You can just take the last digit which in this case is 2 and solve for the square of that digit. 2 x 2 = 4. Now if it was a bigger digit which would result in a two digit number when squared you would take the last digit of that number. But, we don't need to do that here since 2 squared is 4.

Is the sum of two rational numbers always rational

Pepsi [2]

Answer:

in short, Yes they are always rational.

here's why...

E.g. suppose $\frac{c}{d}$ and $\frac{a}{b}$ are fractions, that means that a,b,c,d are all integers, and b and d are not zero. finding the sum the numerator, and denominator would also have to be integers. the denominator of the sum can't be zero since the denominators of the fractions were not zero, and would give $\frac{ad+bc}{bd}$ and since they are bound by addition (sum means addition) they must also be rational since eit would equal a bigger integer than initially had
